What Would Abraham Lincoln Do?

Today is the bicentennial anniversay of Abraham Lincoln's birthday. Our current president looks back to Lincoln for many 'best practices'. I wonder what Abe is thinking about Barack Obama from his cloud up in heaven? What advice would he give to Barack Obama today?

Unmitigated Word - Abe Lincoln is usually rated as either the #1 or #2 ranked president in our nation's history. I don't think it's an accident that the presidents right before him are usually rated in the bottom 10 all-time.

I agree that Abe didn't have a great love for people of African descent. However, at the end of the day ... he did the right thing. I think that it is perfectly reasonable to give him credit for that...
